After the elation, the real challenge

Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi

“We have a great responsibility towards Egypt. It is a great thing to have a visionary leader and strong-willed people. The nation, the leader and the people must join hands to build our country.” These were the words of Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab at the closing ceremony of the Egypt Economic Development Conference (EEDC) which was held on 13-15 March in the Red Sea resort of Sharm al-Sheikh to draw direly needed investment and aid to Egypt. The country’s economy took a nosedive in the wake of the Arab Spring uprising in January 2011 and the subsequent Islamist rise to power. On 30 June 2013 a 33-million-strong peaceful revolution by the Egyptian public was supported by the army, led by the then Supreme Commander General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and, on 3 July 2013 the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood regime was overthrown. Egypt embarked on political and economic reform through a Roadmap jointly charted on 3 July 2013 by representatives of all the sectors of the Egyptian community and the military. Now the country has a new Constitution, the moderate secular Sisi was elected President by a landslide, and parliamentary elections are upcoming. And, as clearly revealed by the EEDC, Egypt is bent on getting its economy up and running

Cosying up to the Russian bear…and to other titans

It is no secret that the greatest challenge facing Egypt at this point in time is to rebuild its economy which took a harsh bashing in the aftermath of the Arab Spring uprising in January 2011. The year-long presidency of President Sisi which began 8 June 2014 has seen aggressive moves on that front. The launching of the New Suez Canal megaproject in August 2014, new laws and an investment-friendly climate, and the Egypt Economic Conference last March represent significant steps on the path of economic revival. Recent State visits by President Sisi to Russia, Germany, and Hungary have seen valuable trade deals signed with firms in these countries. And last week saw the Tripartite Free Trade Agreement (TFTA) signed between the East African Community, Southern African Development Community and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). After four years of negotiations to establish a framework for tariff preferences and other commitments, the free trade agreement by the three African economic blocs stands as the launch of a potentially game-changing common market spanning the continent, supporters say ... more informatian | wataninet

.................. The Egyptian

 Naguib Sawiris

Egyptian business tycoon Naguib Sawiris is an international economic figure and a notable character on Egypt’s economic and political arenas. Watani’s Mariam Rifaat talked to Mr Sawiris about the political party he founded, al-Misriyeen al-Ahrar (The Free Egyptians) and his aspirations for Egypt’s political process, while Katrine Faragallah tapped into his views on business, terrorism, and local and global politics.

You may love him or you may loathe him, but you can never be impartial towards billionaire businessman Naguib Sawiris. Many Egyptians see Mr Sawiris as a model businessman who rose to the pinnacle of success inside and outside the country, and a staunch patriot who works to help place Egypt on the path of democracy and secularism. Yet many others see him as a businessman bent on using his financial clout to manipulate politics in Egypt, or as a too-successful Copt who ought not be given the opportunity to have a say in running the country or drawing its future. It is a rare Egyptian who holds no strong views vis-à-vis Mr Sawiris ... for more information /en.wataninet.com
